“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

California cougar just doing what California cougars do


You all know how I love a good, wild-animal-mauls-human, story. 

Well, some dumb family in Cupertino, Ca went hiking in a park where signs are clearly posted warning of the presence of mountain lions and predictably, their 6 year old son was attacked by a mountain lion during their hike.
Now the authorities are hunting down the lion to kill it. WHY? They were in his territory. He was just doing what mountain lions do.....because he's a mountain lion.
I hope the cougar gets away and attacks the hunters, mauls them badly.....then eats some more dumb hikers.

Hmmmm. Isn't one of the characteristics of a sociopath a lack of empathy for the suffering of others?

Unless the appearance of sociopathology is clearly tongue-in-cheek.

But to your point, when the signs are posted, it's difficult to have more than pro-forma empathy for their suffering.
